![]() Just wanted to let everyone know after extensive looking into PEAK LONG LIFE GREEN coolant/antifreeze IS compatable and end all debates. Me personally, I drained the rad, the engine block, and put new RED in. And yes.I did spend the $28 for Toyota coolant.which is crazy.but hey.you are paying for the added salts. So the Lex tech is right.as long as you don't mind a red-brownish color.you are ok with this brand. They pretty much do away from those ingredients with this brand nowadays.as I've read. I even read that this particular Peak has no phosphates or silicates. in it, it talks about a new engine coolant called toyota super long life coolant (a pink fluid that comes already pre-diluted with a 55/45 mix in a 3. Trust me.even the substance numbers are the same. The PEAK stuff is all the same but NO salt additives EXCEPT ingredient NJTSRN QT1 which is an inorganic acid.which I found was put in to deter animals. The only difference is that the red contains organic acid salt and hydrated inorganic salt. ![]() After taking the trip to get the red Toyota stuff.I compared the ingredients. PEAK LONG LIFE 50/50 GREEN coolant is ok to use with factory red. Example: in some chysler vehicles, the silicates in regular coolant can eat away the cooling system sauders and a few incidents, some chysler vehicle had boiling hot coolant spray from their air vents! crazyĪll i am saying is that from the factory, nissan puts in regular antifreeze, not HOAT or OAT which are the long life confirmed. ![]() I am just saying, if you get green or orange OAT coolant, it will be fine.Īnd yes, mixing long-life and regular can cause damages. Like i said, do not worry about the color, usually the color will signify the type of coolant it is (HOAT,OAT, etc) but not always. This is a qoute from the link previously posted. All coolants are water white before dye is added." "Typically, this is a marketing decision. Oh yeah, coolant colors do matter.check this link out: Coolant Colors. The shop said that they could do a good flush and put in extended life if I wanted.but I think I will just keep up with the regular antifreeze myself. Also, I was told that if you were to put the extended life in the altima, you would need to do a good flush before so, otherwise your gaskets/seals would fail.so mixing wouldn't just degrade the extended life coolant, it could actually damage. They told me that Nissan specifically says that the altima is suppose to come with the non-extended antifreeze (this may be a ploy for them to make more money off easy coolant flushes, i'm not sure). One New Genuine Engine Coolant Antifreeze 002721LLAC for Toyota & more. (133) 133 product ratings - New 2 Gallons Toyota Lexus Super Long Life Pink Coolant 00272-SLLC2.

After checking the antifreeze when I got home, I noticed that I had the non-extended life green antifreeze. When I got the 30k service, my bill said on it that they put in extended life antifreeze. I went over this with a few Nissan shops. Just use regular prestone or Zerex antifreeze and you will be fine. If you mix longlife and regular, it is not recomended, but the only thing that will usually happen is you coolant life is redueced to the regular coolant. OUR cars use regular antifreeze, nothing special. ANyways, these are the 4 kinds and manufactures use different dye's in them so you think you have to buy Their own antifreeze. ![]() This is the basic coolant, usually green. Then there is Standard Ethylene Gycol that has silicates in it. Then there is Hybrid Organic Acid Technology, which is similiar but has SOME silicates in it. Organic Acid Technology, which is silicate free and long life, for such models as GM's dex-cool, toyotas, VW, vovlo,etc. Hasnt your deal tried to get you to pay 400 dollars for the 30k service, which includes coolant flush.
